Another highly successful, sell-out Melbourne Cup was held at the Club on the 7th November.\u00a0 245 members and their guests enjoyed champagne and canap\u00e9s on arrival outside on the sunny terrace.\u00a0 The ladies all looked very glamourous and the gents suited up for the occasion.\u00a0 Cup sweeps were selling like hot cakes prior to the race that stops a nation.\u00a0 Once the race was over, happy punters collected their winnings and were then welcomed by President John Hanly in the dining room for a delicious 3 course meal prepared by Chef Dean and his team.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Following the lunch, the fashions on the field were judged by all in attendance and some very worthy winners received some great prizes for the Best Hat\/Fascinator, Best Tie, Best Dressed Male, Best Dressed Female, Ms Melbourne Cup and the “Stand Out” prize.\u00a0 Congratulations to all who took home a prize and everyone present is to be commended on their outfits and glamorous “racing attire”.<\/p>\n
Thanks to Dean and his team in the kitchen, Jess and her amazing team in Food & Beverage, the Flower Committee for the gorgeous centre pieces and floral arrangements, Damon\u00a0and the Admin team, Ben and Rod in Maintenance for their set-up\u00a0and of course to all the members who supported this great day once again, bringing along their guests.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
